Seven US soldiers wounded in Afghan 'insider attack'

Mazar-i-Sharif (Afghanistan) (AFP) – Seven American troops were wounded Saturday in an insider attack by an Afghan soldier at a military base, as the US appears set to boost its troop presence in the country. The shootout at Camp Shaheen near northern Mazar-i-Sharif city is the second “green-on-blue” attack — where Afghan soldiers turn their weapons on international forces assisting them — reported this week.
